ITEMS TO KEEP YOU WARM THIS WINTER

The Ollek Foundation is pleased to announce two new items that will help keep you warm this winter, and we’ll ship them to you free for a contribution to the foundation.

FIRST, a way to keep your head and ears warm with an Ollek Foundation beanie. This beautiful headgear has the foundation logo that tells your friends that you support the work of “helping people who help people.” See the picture below.

SECOND, we are making available our exclusive Ollek family cookbook. If you are of German descent, know someone who is German, can spell German or just love German food, you won’t want to pass up this opportunity to taste the many homemade recipes that our forefathers and mothers created. Believe us, they are GOOD. Remember, you don’t have to be German to enjoy the great food offered in this one of a kind cookbook. See the cover picture below.

Just go over to the side of this page, designate your contribution and mark which one or ones you want us to ship. We’ll pay the shipping cost. And remember, we still have a limited supply of Ollek Foundation t-shirts available as well.

CONTRIBUTE $50 OR MORE AND WE’LL SEND YOU ALL THREE.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FOOD DRIVE

On October 6, 2018 The Ollek Foundation was privileged to conduct its second annual food drive to benefit Victory in the Valley, the organization that provides such vital assistance to families with cancer patients. While the weather was cold, the rain that was forecast held off so people were able to drop off their food contributions.

This year, in addition to the food, many people contributed dollars as well as gift cards to various businesses that are so useful. It was a great day, attitudes were high, and above all, contributions of food, dollars and gift cards made it a successful day and we are so grateful to all those who contributed. THANK YOU.

We look forward to our third annual Victory in the Valley food drive to be held on Saturday, October 5, 2019.

OLLEK FOUNDATION STAFF RESTS AFTER UNLOADING THE TRAILER

The Ollek Foundation

After considerable discussion and planning, the Ollek Foundation was formed in 2017 as a 501(3)(C) non-profit charitable organization which allows for tax-deductible contributions to be received.

Our major purpose is to “help people who help people” and follow the direction of Philippians 2:4 which states,

“Look not only on your interests, but also on the interests of others.”

The Bible has several versions of this verse but each version gives clear direction that we are to be concerned about our fellow man and the difficulties that they may face and that is what The Ollek Foundation endeavors to do.

It should be noted that NONE OF THE OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS OF THE OLLEK FOUNDATION RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION so we can direct more funds to those needing help.

We have been blessed early in our formation to assist groups such as Cleaning For a Reason, a National organization dedicated to providing FREE house cleaning services for Women fighting cancer. One of our directors personally witnessed, in 2017, the outstanding service they provide. While Rich lost his wife to colon cancer, the free house cleaning they provided through their local affiliate, The Cleaning Authority in Wichita, Kansas to assist him and his wife Kelly during her struggles was truly outstanding and greatly appreciated.

WE ARE EXCITED TO HELP

June 16 was the date that we were privileged to host a food and clothing drive in the Quantum Credit Union parking lot for the benefit of the WICHITA FAMILY CRISIS CENTER .

Thank you to the countless people who responded with several thousand dollars worth of food, clothing, and gift cards. We even secured a like new sofa sleeper that was welcomed by the Center.

This organization provides a tremendous service to families in crisis and it was our foundation’s privilege to assist them with this drive. Below are some pictures of the event. By the way, the pictures also show the used enclosed trailer we were able to secure through generous support of donors AND our beautiful new banner on the side of the trailer provided for us by TJ Smith of US LOGO Companies in Wichita, Kansas.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU THAT HELPED. WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR SUPPORT.

Getting ready with our new trailer and banner.The trailer is getting fuller.

ON ANOTHER MATTER

Several people have asked if we have any kind of a newsletter or update on the foundation. If you are interested in receiving a quarterly update (not a plea for funds) please click here. We promise not to flood you with requests for financial assistance but you are always welcome to support us if you feel the work we do is worthwhile. By the way you can buy an adorable t shirt for only $20. See the section on the side for further details. The newsletter would just be our way to communicate our efforts at helping people who help people.

In addition, we have presented a check to Victory in the Valley Inc., also a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting cancer patients and their families with food and other necessities of life that enable them to focus their efforts on fighting that dreaded disease.
